Ellie Lite: (Elite?) Is this an individual letter writer claiming to be in different locations? Or are all the newspapers in collusion to print what is fed to them (by the white house?)
What are the odds of ONE person writing letters to all the news papers and having it selected by all of them?
Is this finally the smoking gun that shows newspapers are regurgitating white house spin?
Are they really proven once and for all to be an arm of the democrat party?
I don’t understand putting the same name on all of them. Surely someone screwed up.
Buddy of mine in federal prison told me he used to anticipate my letters ~ he had nothing to do but read ~ made him feel part of something.
she didn’t just do letters, here’s a post to a blog site

A year ago, if we had read in the paper that employers were hiring again, that health care legislation was proceeding without a bump, that Afghanistan suddenly became a nice place to take your kids, we would’ve known we were being lied to. Back then, we recognized that the problems Obama inherited as President wouldn’t go away overnight.
During his campaign, Obama clearly said that an economy that took eight years to break couldn’t be fixed in a year, that Afghanistan was a graveyard of empires, and would not be an easy venture for us. Candidate Obama didn’t feed us happy-talk, which is why we elected him. He never said America could solve our health care, economic and security problems without raising the deficit. Instead, he talked of hard choices, of government taking painful and contentious first steps towards fixing problems that can’t be left for another day.
Right after Obama’s election, we seemed to grasp this. We understood that companies would be happy to squeeze more work out of frightened employees, and would be slow to hire more. We understood that the banks that had extorted us out of billions of dollars, were lying when they said they would share their recovery. We understood that a national consensus on health care would not come easily. Candidate Obama never claimed that his proposed solutions would work flawlessly right out of the box, and we respected him for that.
But today, the President is being attacked as if he were a salesman who promised us that our problems would wash off in the morning. He never made such a promise. It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a President can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.
If OBama inherited this, then GWB inherited the Enron collapse and 9/11 from Clinton
This is probably old news but Ellie Light’s letter was also in USA Today.
Same letter as all the others.
Ellie Lite could be E.Lite or Elite.
From Wikipedia
Elite (occasionally spelled Élite) is taken originally from the Latin, eligere, "to elect". In sociology as in general usage, the elite is a relatively small dominant group within a large society, having a privileged status perceived as being envied by others of a lower line of order.
The elite at the top of the social strata almost invariably puts it in a position of leadership, whether it be expected or volunteered, and often subjects the holders of elite status to pressure to maintain that leadership position as part of status. However, in spite of the pressures, the existence of the elite social stratum is usually unchanged.
Co-inky Dinky?

a concerted effort with several letters in several papers
Even with a single writer it could still be a conspiracy
if done in a false manner to further the Obama agenda,
by person associated with the regime, if it was known
about by others prior to or even after the fact.
Our local paper printed it — but, strangely enough, when I write a letter to the editor, the paper CALLS me and CONFIRMS I wrote it before it will publish it. These obsolete papers have a reason they are becoming obsolete!!!!
I think you’re right bump.
Bump.
Bump.
OK. Point taken. But newspapers I am familiar with require a phone number for them to call and confirm that the person submitting the letter is bona fide, etc. And if they send them on line I guess their address could be tracked.

Seems that Cass Sunsteen has studied how to cause this kind of infiltration, and he is supposedly married to this Power lady.
Good work—remember, Anita Dunn the Communications Director (who has stepped out of the White House now that her hubby, lawyer Robert Bauer who is defending the eligibility lawsuit, works as White House Counsel—REMEMBER she said WE CONTROLLED THE MEDIA and the media’s access to OBama throughout the campaign (so news media wouldn’t investigate his background and eligibility) This is just zero’s W. H. modus operandi, to send a letter to all the local papers and say publish this....
This is such a non-story.......
Oh, I missed the effort to sound like a Cannuck, or is it Chuck? Or Ed? Anyway keep up the good work. Keep your Senators good “R”s.
But in answer to your question about collusion in journalism, the answer is that of course journalsits are in cahoots. They got that way when they started paying big bucks for membership in the Associated Press, and access to the AP newswire. The newspapers were fractiously independent before then - but the need to get value from the newswire homogenized them.
Journalism as we know it was defined by the AP - and the members of the AP compete with each other in precisely the same sense as the members of Major League Baseball compete with each other. That is, they compete at executing their job - but they cooperate in promoting the fatuous conceit that AP journalism is inherently significant.
The newswire in particular and the print/broadcast infrastructure generally is a "hammer" whose only utility is to spread the alarm about any danger to the people. Consequently, to journalism, the routine variation in the sequence of events known as "news" is, in and of itself, inherently a "nail" which the public should be alarmed about.
IMHO that, in and of itself, explains the leftist tendency of journalism.
You are the Elite Lite. Now go out there and correct the record.
Wasn’t one of the letters to USA Today????
Remember this Mr K?

JournoList: Inside the echo chamber For the past two years, several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics have talked stories and compared notes in an off-the-record online meeting space called JournoList. Proof of a vast liberal media conspiracy?
Not at all, says Ezra Klein, the 24-year-old American Prospect blogging wunderkind who formed JournoList in February 2007. “Basically,” he says, “it’s just a list where journalists and policy wonks can discuss issues freely.”
But some of the journalists who participate in the online discussion say — off the record, of course — that it has been a great help in their work. On the record, The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin acknowledged that a Talk of the Town piece — he won’t say which one — got its start in part via a conversation on JournoList.
And JLister Eric Alterman, The Nation writer and CUNY professor, said he’s seen discussions that start on the list seep into the world beyond. “I’m very lazy about writing when I’m not getting paid,” Alterman said. “So if I take the trouble to write something in any detail on the list, I tend to cannibalize it. It doesn’t surprise me when I see things on the list on people’s blogs.”
REPOST for format
Lefties trying to get the wikipedia entry scrubbed now.
These "news"papers are FAKE. They need to BE DRIVEN OUT.
